Tesla Model 3 Performance, the most powerful ever

Tesla Model 3 Performance debuts and does so with a long list of new features designed to ensure high driving pleasure. The most powerful Model 3 ever produced claims an output of 460 horsepower, a top speed of 262 km/h and a 0-100 km/h sprint covered in just 3.1 seconds. The range is 528 kilometres, according to the Wltp homologation cycle.

Compared to the Standard and Long Range versions, the Tesla Model 3 Performance is distinguished on the outside by revised front and rear bumpers, a new diffuser and carbon fibre spoiler. Also new are the 20-inch alloy wheels, designed to dissipate as much heat as possible and improve aerodynamics. On board come ventilated sports seats and carbon fibre inserts.

Presented a few hours before the release of the first quarter financial data, where the stock lost more than 40 per cent, the Model 3 Performance is perfect for the 'wow effect' typical of Tesla style. On paper, the American sedan promises true sports car qualities, thanks to innovations such as increased torsional rigidity, a revised stance, high-performance brakes, and the introduction of adaptive suspension configurable to Standard, Sport, and Track. The adaptive damping technology is entirely software-controlled and integrated into the VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Controller).

How much does the new Tesla Model 3 Performance cost? Already available to order on the site with delivery by June, it is offered from 55,990 euros.
